Hon. Geo. NJ. Bowers was elected
n of the Vice Presidents of the
National Republican League, and Mr..
d. P. Morgan one of the members of
the Executive Committee.
Berkeley County appreciates the
distinction conferred on one of her
sons. Hon. n. Golf carried off the
State honors, and was the lion of the
day next to Blaine. Golf might make
a strong ticket with a Northern or
Western man at the head.
The Wheeling HateHigencer cores
pondent says Hon. G. NJ. Bowers
stands a good chance of being the
next Auditor of West Va. Then
Camden must have been mistaken in
the man he patted on the back, when
he chucked old-stagerism under the
chin. Give Bowers a chance and he'll
carry the State.

A number of pretty good sized
shoats have been butchared in this
neighborhood this season; the two
largest last week being IN by Henry
P. Busey, which balanced the scales
at 474 pounds, and one by Nathan
Coils, which the steelyards and eX-
p~erienced guessers placed at 425 lbs.
Other big paehydermatous quadru-
peds will be turned into pork, pud-
ding and sausage next week.
Mr.. John T. McKown butchered his
big porker this morning; weight 42S.
We are delighted to hear there is a
probability that the new railroad,
when extended from Martinsburg
southwark, will pass by u village.
This route presents maLy advantages
which commend it to favorable con
sideration. Among other points in
our favor we may mention that the
road a be very cheaply constructed,
that the right of way would cost but
little, if anything, and that the local
freight traffic would far exceed that
which could be reasonably expected
along any other route, The people
along this line will advance their own
best interests by treating the company
in the most liberal manner, and all
should unite in earnest efforts TO bring
the road this way. There is but little
doubt that the road will be extended
next summer and it may be our last
chance to obtain such q great blessing.

DON'T

let that cold of yours run on. You think
it is a light thing. But it may run into
catarrh. Or into pneumonia. Or con-
sumption.
Catarrh is disgusting. Pneumonia is
dangerous. Consumption is death itself.
The breathing apparatus must be kept
healthy and clear of all distractions and
offensive matter. Otherwise there is
trouble ahead.
All the diseases of these parts, head,
nose, throat. bronchial tubes and lungs,
can be delightfully."- and entirely cured by
the use of Boschee's German Syrup. II
you DOM know this already, thousands
and thousands of people can tell you.
They have been cured by it, and know
how it is, themselves" Bottle only x
cents. Ask any druggist.

HAPPY CHILDHOOD.

When / was a beggarly boy
And lived in a cellar damp,
| had not a friend nor a toy,
But | had Aladdin's lamp +:
When / could not sleep for cold,
l had fire enough in my brain.
And builded, with roofs of gold,
My beautiful castles in Spain.
Since then 1 have toiled day and night,
l have money and power good store,
But I'd give all my lamps of silver bright
For the one that is mine no more
Take Fortune, whatever you choose,
You gave and may snatch again;
I've nothing twould pain me to lose,
For own no castles in SPAIN"
